How to sew a mat out of tissue lapses
Of the remnants of fabric do useful beautiful things. One of them is a rug. It can be put near the bed, in the tub. On the wall, the original product also looks great. Make flaps in the form of braids, sew them to the base or make from the flaps a small voluminous carpet.
Carpet of "braids"
For this, needlework will need a rather densethe basis. A piece of old curtain or other cloth that has served its time will do. The remaining pieces of needlework should be cut or torn into strips 2-3 cm wide. It is good if the remnants of the fabric are long. Scissor the canvas on top of the canvas, having retreated from the edge 2-3 cm, tear off the strip. Continue to tear them in the same way. If you still have shreds of different colors, add one color matching the colors. You should get 3 peas from the tissue strips. Take one of each pile, place them on the ironing board. Grind the ends of the three strips together with a pin. Weave the scythe from these materials. When the strips of a certain fabric end, weave the other. To do this, put the braid horizontally, make a small vertical incision, stepping back from the edge of 3 cm. Do the same on the wrong side of the new strip, turn it over your face. Insert this slot into the cut of the end of the braid tape, continue the weaving. Soften the scythe so that it becomes flat, gently roll it into a tangle. Ten meters of braid will be enough for sewing a rug in the size of 50x50 cm. You can make a base of 60x40 cm or cut it in the form of a circle, another shape. Attach the beginning of the tangle from the braid to the larger edge. A little unwind it, so that part of the braid lies on the side of the rectangular base, sew on the typewriter. When you reach the other end, flip the braid and sew the second close to the first zigzag seam. In the same way, decorate the entire surface of the main fabric. Cut the edge with an oblique byte or tie it with threads. Volumetric mat
Cut from the rest of the fabric strip 2.5 x 10 cm. Do them according to the share, that is, they should stretch more strongly in width, and not in length. Take a carpet mesh, which is sold in textile stores or glass containers, it can be purchased at a construction store. Cut this dense mesh base to get the dimensions you need. Step back from it 1 cm and start attaching flaps. Pass the end of the big hook through the mesh hole, grasp the middle of the folded fabric. Place the end of the hook in the formed loop of the flap, grasp both ends of the fabric strip, pull them through this loop, tighten. As a result, the tape is tightly attached to the edge of the square from the grid, tied to it in a knot. Just tie all the other flaps. Place them tightly to each other. When the entire surface is closed, put on the edges of the rug stripes of glued lining material, walk around this material from the underside of the iron, wrap it on the front side and also attach it with a hot iron. Volumetric mat from the remains of fabric is ready.
